Fall TV Preview

Ok, who else is so ready for the upcoming Fall TV season? I admit, I never watch anything real-time these days - what the heck did we do before DVR?? That means I've got to set the DVR for the new shows I want to check out and make sure my oldies but goodies are still good to go!Sure, I've still got new episodes of Young and the Restless to entertain me at night, but sometimes Victor and Niki Newman just don't do it for me.

Watching TV has always been a large part of my life, I have to admit. I think one huge reason is because my grandfather owned a television store. Days that my mom had to work or I was sick, I went to the store and grandma would make me a pallet in front of a dozen televisions and I could watch TV all day long. They had Nickelodeon - and MTV! We only got three channels out in the country where we lived.

I even had a TV cake made for my grandfather's 80th birthday last year. Yep, we love some TV in our family.

I also married a TV freak. Mike can't walk in a room with a TV that is turned off without going right up to it and turning it on. I mean, I like some TV, but I can handle it being off. It's like an OCD thing with him. Walker, luckily, is so sports-obsessed, he doesn't like to sit and watch TV for hours at a time, and being in daycare, he didn't have the opportunity to when he was little, so hopefully he won't be as bad as Mike.

Back to Fall TV. I always get a little sadder in the spring when the season finales arrive and it seems like forever before September rolls around again. I've added some more summer/reality shows to my viewing, but I could really take em or leave em. So yeah for Fall TV!!!!

According to AdAge, here are the most anticipated New Fall Shows. I'm gonna admit, I've never even heard of some of these. Maybe because I always skip the commercials?

I have heard of New Girl and I'm a huge Zooey Deschanel fan, so I'm hoping that one is good. I read online that the pilot is already available on iTunes, to build up the buzz, but I haven't checked it out yet.

I'm also looking forward to Ashton Kutcher on Two and a Half Men. I didn't watch the show before, but I love him so, I'll give it a try. Another one not on this list is Up All Night, which is about new parents Christina Applegate and Will Arnett. Maybe it's because I can totally relate from Walker's baby days, but I'm going to check that one out for sure.

As far as returning shows, I'm a tried and true Grey's Fan. I stumbled upon the pilot episode the first night it aired and I've been loyal ever sense. Even the music reminds me of fall. I'm also looking forward to Parenthood, Glee, Modern Family and America's Next Top Model.

I'm embarrassed to say that your last two links have been like a present. I have been waiting for this week all summer! Now I have it all laid out and can start my DVR to do list! And I am so waiting for Grey's....I even put it on my calendar and am embarrassed when people read over my shoulder...

YES! YES! I've been crossing off the days on my calendar! I seriously can't take another day of "America's Got Talent"... (luckily tonight is the finale)... Grey's, DHousewives, Modern Family. Oh, how I miss u all!

Hi Wendy! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog! I hope you are enjoying TV starting this week! Let me know what you think of New Girl! I really like Zooey but her character came off sort of cheesy to me in the ads so I think I'm passing up on it tonight (TV schedule conflicts didn't help haha). I'm very very excited for Modern Family...and I really liked Up All Night! Enjoy TV and your blog break!

It's been a while since I posted an inspiration board, so when I saw that Angie Harmon's friends threw her a candy-inspired baby shower this weekend, I thought it would be fun to come up with some ideas of what it may have looked like! Yummy!

My mind is already a confusing mess of what I want to accomplish in 2013. And it seems like every other hour, I think of something new or read someone's idea and say "Hey, I'm gonna do that in 2013."

Overachiever, not so much. But I do get excited this time of the year to start anew, symbolic as it is, and have an excuse to step back for a minute, press the hold button and think about what I want for the next 12 months.

My 2012 goals were to get a promotion (check) while maintaining good work/life balance (check), and lose thirty lbs (not checked). My blog took a bit more of a back seat in 2012 as other items came to the front and I worked on that balance, but hopefully 2013 will provide the opportunity to spend more time here growing my online friendships and sharing my stories/projects/news...

For 2013 I jump from wanting to save, save, save so I can either completely redo my house in 2014 or move to a new house ... to wanting to travel to NYC again in the Spring …

It's the quiet days that sometimes get to me. I just got off the phone with my mom. I told her I have cabin fever. She said, "You probably won't be someone who should retire."

I replied, "I don't ever plan to".

This year Christmas was a bit slower, a bit quieter than usual. Maybe because everyone is getting a bit older, there are no babies around to cry or wail, and my grandparents seemed so feeble. With my uncle's passing this year, Mike having to work the day after Christmas and my dad not around - such a significant absence of the male figures that had always been there over the holidays.

My mother had bronchitis, and my nephew the flu. Walker and I both ended up with awful colds that we're still trying to get over.
